The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is an advisory committee to ICANN, the organization that administers the Internet's Domain Name System and addressing system. According to ICANN Bylaw XI.4.a, "ALAC is the primary organizational home within ICANN for individual Internet users",〔http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#XI〕 with a mandate to "consider and provide advice on the activities of ICANN, insofar as they relate to the interests of individual Internet users".〔http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#XI〕 ==Structure and mission== The ALAC is composed by fifteen members, three from each of the five geographic regions used by ICANN for geographical diversity requirements. As a part of its mission, the ALAC reaches out for groups of individual Internet users all around the world - identified as ''At-Large Structures'' (ALSes) - and encourages them to apply for accreditation by ICANN. Once accredited, these groups can participate in the five ''Regional At-Large Organizations'' (RALOs), regional groupings that host discussions at a regional level. In turn, each RALO appoints two members of the ALAC (for a total of ten members out of fifteen). This builds an open, bottom-up mechanism to select the ALAC members. The remaining five members of the ALAC are appointed by ICANN's Nominating Committee. The ALAC appoints one non-voting representative to the councils of the Generic Names Supporting Organization and to the Country Code Names Supporting Organization, and liaisons to ICANN working groups and task forces. It also appoints five members (one per geographic region) of ICANN's Nominating Committee. It has some statutory authority, though limited, to influence ICANN's policy making activities. However, it usually shares its opinions through non-binding advisory statements sent to the ICANN Board. Originally the ALAC appointed a liaison to the ICANN Board; however, that position was abolished in 2010 when an additional, fully voting position on the ICANN Board was designated to be selected by the At-Large community. The first person selected by this process, joining the ICANN Board in October 2012, was former ALAC member Sébastien Bachollet〔https://community.icann.org/display/DirCan/At-Large+Director+Candidate+2010+Workspace〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「At-Large Advisory Committee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
